Introduction
Slack is a popular communication tool used by millions of people around the world. It is widely used by businesses and individuals to communicate with their teams and colleagues. Slack sends notifications for new messages, mentions, and reactions, but sometimes users complain that they don’t hear any notification sound. In this article, we will discuss why Slack is not making notification sound and how to fix it.
Settings
The first thing you need to check is your notification settings in Slack. Slack allows users to customize their notification settings for each channel or group. If your notification sound is not working, it could be because you have turned off the sound in your notification settings. To check your notification settings, click on your name in the top left corner of Slack and select “Preferences.” Then, click on “Notifications” and make sure the “Notification Sounds” option is turned on.
Device Settings
If your notification sound is still not working, it could be because of your device settings. Make sure that your device is not on silent mode or “Do Not Disturb” mode. If your device is on silent mode, you will not hear any notification sound. Similarly, if your device is on “Do Not Disturb” mode, you will not receive any notifications at all.
App Permissions
Another reason why Slack is not making notification sound is because of app permissions. Make sure that Slack has permission to access your device’s microphone and speaker. To check app permissions on Android, go to “Settings” > “Apps” > “Slack” > “Permissions.” On iOS, go to “Settings” > “Slack” > “Microphone” and “Notifications.”
Slack Update
If none of the above solutions work, try updating your Slack app. Sometimes, a bug in the app can cause notification sound issues. Updating your app to the latest version can fix the bug and restore the notification sound. To update Slack on Android, go to the Google Play Store and search for “Slack.” On iOS, go to the App Store and search for “Slack.”
Conclusion
Notification sound is an essential feature of Slack, and not having it can be frustrating. If Slack is not making notification sound, check your notification settings, device settings, app permissions, and update your app. Hopefully, one of these solutions will fix the problem, and you will be able to hear your notification sound again.
